Qianjie: "...Please get out of my way."

Kiana: "6"

Just as Qianjie began to speak politely and amiably in the comments section, instigated by Alicia, the video on the screen continued.

.........

At this moment, the monsters were charging towards Alicia en masse.

At that moment, Alicia gripped her bow and arrow tightly.

Despite their mollusc-like appearance, these monsters leaped ten feet high with incredible speed. Their malevolent forms, resembling octopus tentacles or the petals of a giant lizard flower, swept towards Alicia.

Faced with this situation, Alicia merely glanced at the tentacle monsters. Were those children devoured by such creatures?

Then, one arrow, and release—

The next moment, Alicia vanished from her spot.

The entire battlefield was reduced to a scene of arrows clashing against each other, resembling a geometric painting.

The people watching the video on the screen stared wide-eyed and gaping, dumbfounded as they watched this one-sided massacre.

That's right, massacre. The fake Caster began chanting a spell the moment Alicia made her move, and black smoke kept rising from the ground, from which countless monsters emerged.

Caster's summoning speed is far slower than Alicia's slaughter speed.

Pink crystal flowers bloomed on the ground, then shattered, turning into a large number of crystal fragments that scattered everywhere!

Even with Caster's magical enhancement, a place like the sewers had no chance of withstanding such power. Sure enough, under Alicia's fierce attack, the entire sewer collapsed completely.

The art that Pseudo-Caster and Ryunosuke Uryu were so proud of was buried in the ruins. With the collapse of the workshop, the defense mechanism also became ineffective. Without a doubt, Caster lost this battle.

However, we cannot show any mercy to such a demon; we must kill him completely here.

Looking at Caster and Ryunosuke Uryu buried in the ruins, Alicia drew her bow to its fullest extent and shot it into the sky.

Arrows shot into the sky, transforming into a dreamlike pink dome. Then, a dense rain of arrows refracted and fell from the dome, indiscriminately striking the entire area.

A huge explosion rang out, making people wonder whether Alicia's crystal bow was firing an arrow or a bomb.

Is this the legendary nuclear-powered archer?

After taking that hit, the Caster duo were either dead or kicking the bucket. The huge commotion made people sigh, "It's another day of nuclear peace in Fuyuki City."

After dealing with all of this, Alicia felt heavy-hearted. The most annoying Heroic Spirit she had ever encountered was Gilgamesh, but given that annoying guy's appearance, he wouldn't lay a hand on an ordinary person.

But now, such an evil Heroic Spirit has appeared in the Holy Grail War. Besides him, will there be other ordinary people who will be killed because of the Holy Grail War?

Unfortunately, Alicia lacked the foresight to see into the present and future; otherwise, given her personality, she would never have stood idly by.

.........

The barrage at this time.

After witnessing Alicia's power, countless people cheered with joy.

First, the malicious "Fake Caster" duo has finally left the stage. No matter what, this duo was a nightmare for ordinary people. Now that they're gone, at least the safety of ordinary people can be guaranteed.

Secondly, after witnessing Alicia's strength, everyone could almost ignore the subjugation order that Tokiomi Tohsaka and Risei Kotomine had set up against Alicia.

Just kidding, Alicia completely overwhelmed Caster. If it weren't for the surrounding environment, she could probably kill Caster in one move.

How can you fight a fairy like that? With your head?

Based on the Servant levels and skill displayed on the first night of the Holy Grail War, at least no one in this Holy Grail War should be a match for this fairy lady.

What's worth looking forward to next isn't the Servant Brawl.

Rather than a Servant free-for-all, everyone would prefer to see Alicia fight Gilgamesh, or even Alicia versus the three kings – that would surely be incredibly exciting.

Of course, there's also King Solomon. Although I don't know what the Grand rank is, judging from Gilgamesh's attitude, his strength is definitely not to be underestimated. I wonder who is stronger between him and Alicia.

With the fake Caster gone, the comments section started actively discussing the future plot, since only a fake Caster had died, and no one has left the Holy Grail War yet.

Chapter 40 Moon Spirit Essence Liquid

The departure of the fake Caster group was a great relief. Although their departure was somewhat hasty, the scene was like a nuclear explosion, and no one would believe that the fake Caster could have survived.

At this moment, the light screen image focused on the Saber team and the Lancer team.

After Kiritsugu Emiya blew up Kenneth's building in Fuyuki City, Kenneth developed an unprecedented rage towards Kiritsugu Emiya.

In Kenneth's eyes, someone like Kiritsugu Emiya, who tarnished magic, was the most unforgivable.

Therefore, he chose to go directly with Lancer to challenge Kiritsugu Emiya.

During the preliminary investigation, I had already heard about the Einzbern territory near Fuyuki. Since it is the territory of magicians, it has a corresponding barrier, making it a place where it is difficult for others to fight effectively.

That being said, who is Kenneth? The monarch of the Clock Tower, a renowned genius magician, completely different from Waver, who relies entirely on theory and lacks practical ability. Kenneth is a magician who truly became a monarch through his own strength. As long as Kenneth doesn't die, there is even a possibility that he might be able to glimpse the origins of magic and achieve magic in the future.

Even though Kiritsugu Emiya is known as the most powerful magician killer, he probably has never seen a magician like Kenneth in his life. From a purely magical point of view, ten Kiritsugu Emiyas would not be a match for Kenneth.

Even when fighting on the opponent's territory, Kenneth remained convinced of his ability to win, a testament to his confidence in his magical skills.

And so, Kenneth swaggered into the Einzbern family’s territory.

What Kenneth didn't know was that the man he was about to face, Emiya Kiritsugu, was a magician killer, and the strongest magician killer at that, who wouldn't reason with him and engage in a one-on-one magician battle.

He was even willing, if necessary, to abandon the Einzbern territory to provide for Kenneth's final resting place.

.........

Kiana: "Wow, this Kenneth, his confidence is inexplicable~~~"

Mei: "After all, he is a genius magician. He probably has never suffered any losses since he was a child."

Bishop of Destiny: "The Root, the Magic, the light screen image gives Kenneth such a high evaluation? According to the information I have gathered before, no magician has ever been able to do this before."

Conan: "Bishop, you really do like to gather information everywhere. We've been trying to figure out the difference between magic and sorcery for ages."

Bishop of Destiny: "Hahaha~~~ I'm just full of curiosity about all the unknown things. The more it involves the most essential power of a world, the more irresistible it is to explore its true meaning."

King of Heroes: "Hmph, boring. Just an ordinary magician. Even with good talent and ability, it can't change the fact that they are annoying."

Opinions on Kenneth varied in the comments section, as he didn't initially make a very good impression, and Kenneth was also very clever, so he rarely commented in the comments.

Therefore, even those who wanted to cause him trouble couldn't find a reason to criticize him.

What he didn't expect was that the light screen image would give him such high praise. What is the root? That is the magician's lifelong pursuit. Could he possibly be able to glimpse the mystery of the root?

But why is it that it is immortal? Does the light screen image think that it will die in this Holy Grail War?

How could this be? A magic ritual performed in such a rural area poses absolutely no threat...

Theoretically, that's correct, but... this Holy Grail War is extraordinary in every way, and the Servants, as familiars, are more powerful than he imagined.

Not only Servants, but also the monarch of the Celestial Department, Marisbury, needless to say, that old insect who has lived for who knows how many years, his magical skills are probably no less than his, plus that Alicia, how could Fuyuki City gather so many outrageous characters.

Thinking about this, Kenneth was completely troubled. Maybe... he should just give up on participating in this Holy Grail War. It's not like he really needs this experience. It would be better to just give up his eligibility to participate and run away now.

Kenneth was still very young, but he had already become a renowned magician. He didn't want to die young because of such a magician's ritual.

.........

[At this moment, in order to prevent Kiritsugu Emiya from attacking him again with those modern weapons, Kenneth directly played his trump card in the light screen image.]

He laughed arrogantly, placing the bottle he was carrying under his arm on the ground. The moment it left his hand, the bottom of the bottle sank heavily into the ground. This bottle, carried under a weight-reducing spell, actually weighed close to 140 kilograms.

"Fervor, mei sanguis." (Boil, my blood!)

As the incantation to activate the magic was chanted, the sticky contents of the bottle overflowed from its opening. The liquid, radiating a mirror-like metallic sheen, was a large quantity of mercury. The mercury, with a capacity of approximately ten liters, flowed out of the bottle like a self-regulating protozoan, trembling and forming spherical shapes.

Just by looking at it, you can tell what it is - this is the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid that appeared before and protected Kenneth when the Fuyuki Hotel was bombed. It is the heirloom of the Archibald family.

The scene switched to the interior of the castle, showing the gate, and then a brilliant knife-like cutting flashed, cutting the gate and the surrounding walls together, followed by a collision, which directly blew the cut gate and the surrounding walls inward.

Kenneth walked in, and his Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid floated around him in the form of a sphere, entering the mansion with him.

Then, Kenneth spoke in his signature hoarse voice: "Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, the ninth head of the Archibald family, has come to pay his respects. Magician of the Einzbern family, let us wager our lives and honor in a fair fight for the Holy Grail that we both seek!"

With his hands behind his back, he stood upright, introduced himself, with a confident smile on his face and an elegant and calm posture.

As expected of someone of noble birth, Kenneth's self-introduction was quite aristocratic. After witnessing the dark scenes and Kiritsugu Emiya's methods, he still appeared in such an upright manner. It has to be said that Kenneth is the most magus-like magus in this Holy Grail War.

However, no one responded to Kenneth's remarks. The entire hall was silent, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

Kenneth probably felt that waiting for a response was pointless, so he strode forward to test the waters. Just as Kenneth reached the center of the hall, the four vases placed in the four corners of the hall suddenly shattered with a loud crash.

But what flew out of the explosion were not fragments of porcelain, but countless metal beads, which flew towards Kenneth like bullets.

This scene left countless people speechless, only able to marvel at how true it was to Kiritsugu Emiya. It was something he was capable of doing, especially when the other party was openly declaring war across the border, and he pulled this stunt.

After the smoke cleared—although he had been ambushed, Kenneth was unharmed because the Moon Spirit Essence had automatically expanded the moment he was attacked, protecting him inside and blocking all the beads.

Kenneth was thoroughly enraged by this underhanded tactic. His smile vanished, and he said in a deep voice, "To rely on traps, has the Einzbern family fallen to such a low level?"

"Very well, then this time it will not be a duel but a punitive expedition!"

Having said this, Kenneth, fueled by his rage and carrying the Moon Spirit Essence, ventured deeper into the ancient castle.

Chapter 41 Emiya Kiritsugu's Methods

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, Kenneth's trump card Mystic Code? I have to say, it looks really useful."

Kiana: "Wow—it looks so versatile! I wonder how it compares to Auntie's Judas? By the way, can it help me with my homework?"

Theresa: "Hey, Kiana, you're sneaking a peek at the screen during class again! Damn it, don't leave after class, I'm going to smash you with Judas and show you just how many uses Judas can have."

Kiana: "Whoa—Auntie, I'm so sorry!"

Bishop of Destiny: "From a purely rational perspective, the versatility and power of the Moon Spirit Essence should not be as good as Judas. However, as a magician's trump card, it is indeed outstanding in terms of its ability to balance defense and offense."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I really don't know what to say. He just openly goes to someone else's turf and fights them. Isn't he afraid of crashing and burning?"

King of Heroes: "That's how arrogant bastards are. Even if they die at the hands of others, there's nothing to say."

Red A: "Are you sure you're qualified to say that about him?"

.........

[The light screen image shows that things are still going on.]

When Kenneth finished his monologue at the gate and began to go deeper into the castle, the camera also shifted to a room in the castle. Emiya Kiritsugu asked Hisau Maiya to take Irisviel to evacuate from the back door first, while he stayed alone to deal with it.
